RE THOROUGH.
As the etymology of the word
signifies, education is a leading
out from, a development. This
is a continuous process, never
ceasing in its operation. "Never
too old to learn" is an adage which
rests on the fact that education
Is constantly progressive and that
no one can acquire possesion of
the aggregate or sum total of
human knowledge. Whoever
knew a man who knew all about
everything? It is equally certain
that no one man ever gained all
knowledge possible concerning
any one thing. However, learn
ed-a man may become he may
never say "ne plus ultra," for he
well knows that deeper down
than he has yet digged, further
along than he has yet traveled
are concealed great stores of
knowledge. He may dig to
greater depths, travel greater
distance, then lie down and die
conscious that some other man
will come after him and discover
principles and truths more pro
found than he himself had ever
dreamed of.
The field of human knowledge
is illimitable. It ever reaches
o t into the inf! nite. But the
knowledge which may be gained
by any one has its limitations.
The most learned men realize
liow little the sum of their know
ledge, and how inperfect, in the
light of to-morrow, it may ap
pear. It is wisely ordained that he
vcho would attain to any consid
erable knowledge must do so
mainly through his own unceas
ing efforts. Books, schools, in
structors are adventitious aids
not to be lightly valued, fortu
nate the young man to whom
these are available and who uses
tbem wisely and well, but it still
remains true that his education
is his own work. The most, the
best perhaps that schools and
teachers can do is teach the use
of the tools or instruments nec
essary in gaining an education,
j.i!ace them in the youth's hands,
open wide the doors of "The
Temple of Knowledge" and bid
him enter.
Corvallis offers unusual oppor
tunities to the young of either
sex to obtain a desirable scholas
tic training, and we hope that
an increased number of young
men and women will enter the
Agricultural college here. Every
line of human endaavor is calling
more and more insistently for
educated men or women to "come
and help."
Whatever vocation a young
man or a young woman may
choose, whether chopping wood
or guiding the ship of state;
whether washing dishes or lead
ing a great moral reform, it will
be better done and be conducive
of greater happiness when direct
ed by right education, for it is
this element which ennobles both
the doer and the thing done.
Let the young man be industri
ous, energetic, alert, observant
and thoughtful; but above all
else he must be thorough. He
must make his knowledge
part ;
of his own consciousness.
Erasmus said, "not how much
but how well." Scorn to be a
smatterer. The world already
has too many such. Know things,
.then you may do things; but re
member "It is better not
know so much as to know so
many things that are not true."
Dig, disc, dig, early and late, but
ever dig for the truth.
MUST REMAIN SO.
The latest statement from Mr.
Bryan is that he does not know
what the real issue may be in the
He says it is too early to see what
it will be. Mr. Hearst has been
no more successful in finding a
real issue. The conservative dem
ocrats in all the northern states,
especially in New York, seem to
be more concerned at present
how both Bryanism and Hearst
ism may be eliminated from the
democratic party and the strength
of their devotses. utilized by the
party. They find no issue in New
York upon which they ean hope
to carry the state. L In the last
election for governor, Hughes, a
republican, was elected over W.
R. Hearst who put forth his ut
most efforts to secure the election
of himself. Of all those on the
Hearst tiokef who were then
elected there seems to be none
having the qualifications for lar
ger things. Nearly all have failed
to "make good" and could not be
elected to succeed themselves.
The administration of Governor
Hughes has been wise, successful
and highly satisfactory to all ex
cept the long time "bosses" of
all parties. The governor has
wholly ignored them and by doing
so has greatly strengthened him
self with the masses. So coura
geously and wisely has he per
formed his duties and wielded his
power as executive of the state
that the democratic leaders can
find no issue on which they may
hope to carry the state, nor can
they hope to impair thegovernor's
popularity. The democratic party
in New York is really in bad
shape because unable to find
either man or issue with which it.
may hope to win.
The reason for this is that the
peocle are satisfied with the ad
ministration of public affairs as
conducted by the republican par
ty. Its principles and policies
cover the wholefield and so wisely
have these been applied and so
hsnificent have been the results
that the people are satisfied. The
party is enough conservative to
be "safe and sane," enough pro
gressive easily and quickly to con
form its methods to the necessi
ties arising from our changed
and changing social and indus
trial conditions. Clinging tenac
iously to its principles, consist
ently pursuing its comprehensive
poTicies it has yet retained that
element of flexibility which makes
it the most desirable and efficient
instrument in reach of the people
for conducting the affairs of their
government.
It is no easy task for the demo
cratic party to find an issue for
the republican party leaves none
lying around loose, so it was com
pelled, long ago, to become the
partyof obstruction and negation.
It has played at these so long a
time and so devotedly, that it has
lost all the power of constructive
statesmanship it ever possessed.
It has discredited itself with the
people, and is thoroughly dis
trusted. When it purges itself
ancTcleanses itself from the taint
of Bryanism and Hearstism and
finds a real issue it may regain
but until then it must remain the
partyof obstruction and negation.
GOOD
I
WILL RESULT.
It is not probable any inter-national
complications will grow out
of the race riots occurring at
Vancouver a few days since. Ja-
, pan will now, most likely recog-
nize the wisdom of making treat-
ies w:th both Great Britain and
jthe United States whereby Ja-
panese coolie immigration to
these countries shall not be par
tially restricted but absolutely
prohibited.
"It is a consummation devoutly
to be wished. " Much as we need
! laborers in the Northwest the
Japanese have already proved
that they are not the sort of men
to fill the requirements of our
need of labor. They are not in
dustrious, not truthful, not teach
able, not reliable and not at all
desirable as farm hands. Such,
at least, is the, verdict of Oregon
farmers
who have given, them
fair trial.
Compared with the Japs the
ble. But we have found good
reasons for prohibiting . Chinese
coolie immigration and nowshould
certainly prohibit the coming of
a less desirable people. ,
Our, immigration laws might
well exclude others as well as the
Chinese and Japs. y We are per
mitting a large influx of the most
undesirable peoples on earth. We
never can Americanize them. It
is with great danger to our social
and political institutions that we
undertake to transform such hu
man cattle intoAmerican citizens.
Better let our demand for labor
go unsatisfied than attempt to
meet-it by importations from such
sources.
Good sometimes is wrought by
evil. Riot, arson, rapine, murder
are unmitigated evils and must
be sternly repressed. But if re
striction grows put of these dis
turbances we shall hail it as great '
good.

Misses Doris and Maud G-egory visit d
friends at Philomath a few days last
week. They drove over, and- while in
that vicinity their driving mare got
frightened at an" automobile and tipped
the buggy over, throwing out the girls,
and then rah aay, breaking up the har
ness and buggy oretty badly. There
were five men in tht. Automobile, but
they didn't even stip to see how much
damage had been done. A farmer can ht
the mare and patched thiugs up foi
them so they could get to Pbjlomatb.
Lebanon Express-Advance. These auto
mohilists must have been non-residents.
Benton county chaueffera are gentlemen,
everyone, and have ne3r yet been

any horse has been frightened by their
machines.
